here are a bunch of phony reasons why some things don’t get done…<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. too busy (during tax season \u2013 three-plus\u00a0months)<\/li>\n
  2. not my job<\/li>\n
  3. i called them last; it\u2019s their turn to call me<\/li>\n
  4. too hard<\/li>\n
  5. too new<\/li>\n
  6. not sure i could do it<\/li>\n
  7. won\u2019t get credit<\/li>\n
  8. it \u201csmells\u201d so don\u2019t try \u2013 should ask \u201chow can we make it happen\u201d rather than discuss why \u201cit won\u2019t work\u201d<\/li>\n
  9. i need a new computer<\/li>\n
  10. always too busy and seem to be playing catchup<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
